click on a polygon and drop a number in the designated field in sequence

rao_muhammadimranulhaq — Sun, 21 Oct 2018 09:27:05 GMT

'm looking for a tool out there for sequential auto-numbering... something that uses the edit tool (or something similar) to simply click on a polygon and drop a number in the designated field in sequence, and it would obviously have to be easy to reset as the edit session progresses.

sounds pretty specialized and maybe an arcobjects task.

you could have a look at

ArcGIS Code Sharing

but I suspect you will have to implement your own
